0.5 repeating as a fraction can be written as 5/9
This is just simple. For example you have a plane of the form x=a, then you just substitute x with a, and you'll get an equation with y and z only, hence you have a 2-d trace of the intersection. It is just similar for y=b and z=c.
(1) At z=1.5, 2x^2 + 5y^2 + 1.5^2 = 4
2x^2 + 5y^2 = 1.75
Now you have an ellipse in the z=1.5 plane as your trace.
(2) At x=1, 2(1)^2 + 5y^2 + z^2 = 4
5y^2 + z^2 = 2
Now you have an ellipse in the x=1 plane as your trace.
(3) At z=0, 2x^2 + 5y^2 + (0)^2 = 4
2x^2 + 5y^2 = 4
Now you have an ellipse in the z=0 plane as your trace.
(4) At y=0, 2x^2 + 5(0)^2 + z^2 = 4
2x^2 + z^2 = 4
Now you have an ellipse in the y=0 plane as your trace.
The converse of the statement is "If Gus buys the Churros then Shawn solves the case". The converse of statement is simply reversal of the hypothesis and the conclusion. In the given statement, the hypothesis was "If Shawn solves the case". The conclusion was "Gus buys the Churros".
